QUIET TALK (QT)/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK (DQT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on your transceiver
channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you to
ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch will only open
when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals
that you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches
your transceiver.
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you are
using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you to
ignore (not hear) these calls. Although it may seem like you have your own
private channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if they
set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.

CODE SQUELCH (ID CODE)
Code Squelch is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function turns the
transceiver squelch OFF only when it receives the DTMF ID code that has been
set up in your transceiver. Transceivers that do not transmit the correct code will
not be heard. Consequently, you can communicate with a specific party without
listening to other parties using the same channel.
Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is useful
when you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your
dealer for details.
Note: Code Squelch cannot be used on this transceiver if Selective Call {page 18} or DTMF Number
Display {page 28} have been programmed.

BACKGROUND OPERATIONS
TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channel
for an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of time
that exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an
alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch.
The default TOT duration is 1 minute. Your dealer can set the duration to last
from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
Your dealer can also program a warning function to alert you before the TOT
expires. Continuously transmitting for the time specified by your dealer will
cause this warning tone to sound, allowing you to finish your transmission before
the TOT expires.
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
The Busy Channel Lockout feature is activated or deactivated by your dealer.
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who may
be using the same channel that you selected. Pressing the PTT switch while the
channel is in use will cause your transceiver to emit an alert tone and
transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch to
stop the tone and return to receive mode.
BEGINNING/ END OF TRANSMIT SIGNAL
Your dealer can enable or disable the Beginning/ End of Transmit identification
signals. These signals are used to access and release some repeaters and
telephone systems.
